A 30-year-old Bonney Lake barista was kidnapped from the Hottie Shots Espresso Stand in Kent early Tuesday by a man with a knife. He forced her into a dark alley near the stand but was apparently scared off by a motorist.

Porch bandits never cease to amaze. The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office is searching for a woman who snatched several packages from the same porch in El Dorado Hills, California. The video shows the woman grabbing boxes from a porch twice within an hour. For reasons which aren't apparent, she's wearing a coat and bra, but no shirt during her initial theft. Later, she ditches the coat and is seen wearing just her bra and pants. The weather that day was breezy and a cool 60 degrees.

In 2003, Erica Myron was robbed at her Arizona home, kidnapped and shot multiple times. The 35-year-old survived but was paralyzed from the waist down. She moved to Puyallup in 2012 and her inspiring story of recovery and rebirth recently earned her a Transforming Lives Award from the Washington State Association of College Trustees.

This interaction between Bates Technical College President Ron Langrell and a college employee prompted an investigation into Langrell's behavior that resulted in him being placed on administrative leave earlier this year. The video was captured by the school's security cameras.

According to a Pierce County Sheriff’s Facebook post, three suspects forced their way through a gate into the Rainier Asphalt & Concrete yard on Portland Avenue, then prowled several work trucks. The suspects then used a sledgehammer to break through a door into a garage; the three suspects entered the garage and stole trimmers, blowers, and a pressure washer. The first suspect was wearing a Seahawks jersey (on Super Bowl Sunday... isn't it bad enough that we didn't make the playoffs!?!)
